With innovations in technologies and methodology, the benefits of formal functional verification apply in many more areas. If we understand the characteristics of areas with high formal applicability, ...
Driven by the need to objectively measure the progress of their verification efforts and the contributions of different verification techniques, IC designers have adopted coverage as a metric. However ...
How formal verification is able to find bugs before signoff. Formal verification’s ability to mathematically prove exhaustively that a chip design meets a set of assertions. Formal techniques are ...
Current System-on-a-chip (SoC) designs contain increased levels of functional and structural complexities within a single system. With the integration of multiple designs, various clock domains are ...
Formal verification is poised to take on an increasingly significant role in automotive security, building upon its already widespread use in safety-critical applications. Formal has been essential ...
Formal verification associated with assertions is a well known approach to functional verification of SoC digital circuits. This technique bears several advantages over dynamic-based solutions, but ...
The first time I came into contact with the concepts of a digital hardware description language (HDL) and digital logic simulation, I inherently understood how it all “worked.” The idea that the ...
Formal methods provide a rigorous mathematical foundation for the specification, development and verification of medical device software. This approach enhances both reliability and safety, which are ...
More processors on SoCs means more sophisticated cache control. This article describes formal techniques for verifying cache coherency for the ARM AMBA AXI Coherency Extensions (ACE) protocol. Fig 1.
